Dino Melaye Makes Vow, Sends Message To Supporters

Senator Dino Melaye, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in the November 11 governorship election in Kogi State, urged his supporters not to despair or lose hope, assuring them that the struggle is ongoing.

Speaking at a thank-you dinner in Abuja attended by PDP leaders, members of his campaign team, and supporters, Melaye asserted that the election outcome in Kogi would have been different if it had been conducted properly.

He attributed part of the challenge to other governorship candidates from Kogi West (his zone) who did not step down, suggesting that their cooperation would have garnered support even from Kogi East.

Melaye called for unity across the three Senatorial districts in the state, emphasizing that the recent election highlighted the need for collaboration, as the governor cannot be produced by Kogi East alone.

He said: “If there were to be proper elections, the tenants and doctrines of democracy respected, it will not be the way it is. If there is nothing to take home from this election, it is enough to say that the West committed a blunder, not the entire west, those episodic elders. So that’s a enough consideration for most of us who are here.

“The truth of the matter is, if the two other candidates from the west had listened to the voice of wisdom on time, if Leke and Braimoh had stepped down on time, the kind of agenda that happened in the East will not happen, because the East also got disenchanted, got disillusioned that the West is not organized.

“So all we need to do is not to get disillusioned, It’s not to get disenchanted, It’s not to get discouraged. It’s for us to hold ourselves together as a political family. And say, what we’re what we what we lost on the streets, we will regain at the roundabout.

“This election also taught a lot of lessons lessons. One of the lessons is that the East now know more than ever before, that they cannot become governor alone. You will have to collaborate with another zones to become governor,” he said.
